Monster Hunter Stories RP (Title Pending)

>Sees interest-check*

Oh, you're looking for riders...

I'll consider it.

Although the prospect of waking up with a monster in your bed (because it snuck-in, looking for that candy-bar you said you didn't eat), somewhat amusing.

>Not everything I type needs to be an innuendo; Baka!

Word association Game!

Ban the Person above you

Banned because we've gotta stop meeting like this.

What would the moderators think?

Post a random fact about yourself.

@Gunther I was born that Septmber.

Fun fact: If you're born before the ambulance arrives, the newborn counts as a second eleven pound occupant on you bill.

Then they put you into quarantine until your parents can find a nurse willing to bust you out.
^{That sorta made news headlines... it was a slow day... still, the details managed to fill-out 3 columns}

-Not so much a fact about myself, but a longtime next door nieghbor was apparently part of the 32nd div sent to New Guinea (contracted malaria sometime around early 1943, but at least he wasn't part of the Janesville tank detachment)... In fact... a lot of my next door nieghbors were either veterans, teachers, or both.

Ban the Person above you

Banned for not coping with copying. Ya copy?

Ban the Person above you

Banned for not joining the collective.

Resistance is futile.

You will be assimilated.
^{Also, it's "you're/You-are", not "your/yours"}

Post a random fact about yourself.

@Gunther Probably some mercenary RP. Be it eccentric half-breed Tolkien-verse lancer, chinese fighter-pilot, or something involving mechas.
-Possibly zombies.

There was a nation-RP where everyone caught Ender trying to get bypass the game-rules with mercenaries that didn't exist.

Oh, right... random facts...

Star Trek: The Final Frontier hadn't come out yet when I was born and the Cold War wasn't over until 1998.
(Fall of Soviet Union was NOT the end... in '93 the Russians were still blowing up their own capitol... the chances of someone making a hasty move with a nuclear payload were high; it was only in hindsight do we realize all the General Rippers of the Soviet Union were sent to gulag)

Ban the Person above you

Banned for not being here more often to ban.

Post a random fact about yourself.

@Gunther Personally, the closest thing I've used was the rescue-hitch of 1940's design from scouting (yes, it's still taught to this day)... fitted for a larger/smaller person because people were too lazy to re-adjust the knot for each person...

Which meant that rather than distributed evenly along 4 points like a STABO, it either crushed you nuts, squeezed your ribcage, janked your armpits, or chaffed your thighs... Oh, and you usually had the running-end of the rope literally in your face to the point strands of oily manilla were getting caught in your teeth.

Properly fitted, it wears quite a bit like a normal climbing/zipline harness (albeit the hitch itself is nearly fifteen pounds of rope with not much besides friction holding it up when not being lifted; and again, if the loops are too big, it's like wearing trousers fifteen sizes too big, filled with rocks).

If you can't tell, I hate this particular hitch with a burning passion, as it is needlessly complicated for what it does (3 non-slip loops, easily adjustable, from a single strand of rope) and there are a multitude of alternatives that have since been developed. Many of which I find quite a lot more comfortable and/or harder to make it so it doesn't fit.
^{For example, sitting in a single bowline loop is by far more comfortable than getting yanked by the ribcage alone with the thigh loops dangling loose by your ankles}
